Installed a Jackson kit on a '99 Si that had a AEM c.a.i. on it. Of course is does not fit after the install. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this thing fit (as in where to cut on the intake) or has anyone done it before and can give me a few pointers? I searced the forums and archived info and couldn't find anything.

 

I had to shorten the upper tube alot to make it fit well. Heres a pic of it on my GSR.....hope it may give you an idea of where to start on your civic...
To be honest though...I went to a Comptech style CAI and the car felt much more responsive..


I got the idea from someone on this board and cant remember his name. And yes the lid is just off in the pic.



Hopes it helps...good luck

 

Thanks for the help, bro. It acutually gave us a pretty good idea. Nice setup b.t.w..

 

You'll loose HP with the AEM in cold air setup. The filter is too far down on the tube and kills HP on a charger. Best bet is to do a setup like in the above pics. If you really want a bolt on intake that seems to work well with the JR chargers get a PRM. They have an inline filter with just a downpipe for cold air pickup going into the fender/bumper area.

 

Whatsa PRM?

 

you have to switch to a gsr aem cai OR i read a while ago that if you cut about 3 inches off you Si one it can just squeeze in there.
